Her happiness cannot be ignored

Mia. Farrow stared at the movie screen intently in the opening and closing scenes, her surprised face occupies the entire screen.

Farrow plays a young woman who fell into poverty and an unfortunate marriage during the Great Depression. The cinema is her solace and refuge, allowing her to escape the distress and suffering of the ordinary world for a short time.

Her favorite black and white movies are full of fascinating adventure plots, endless martinis, and dinners on the beach, which are in sharp visual contrast with her dim and boring work and marriage.

She lost herself.

We usually think that the way she gets lost is to escape reality. However, her happy look on the screen and her radiant face showed that she was immersed in happiness.

When the explorer Tom. Baxter walked towards her from the screen, she did not feel particularly confused, because the world in the movie has long been more vivid to her than the real world.

The Purple Rose of Cairo quotes

  • Cecilia's Sister: The one that I liked is "Okay, America!"

    Cecilia: Oh, yeah! I saw that twice. That was great! When she threatens to kill Lew Ayers.

    Cecilia's Sister: I love Lew Ayers looks! Do you think he's married?

    Cecilia: What do you mean married? Are you crazy? Yes, he's married to Ginger Rogers! God! They got married on a boat off the island of Catalina. They live in Beverly Hills and sometimes holiday in Spain. He used to be married to Lola Lane, but, Ginger's better for him. She's so lovely.

  • Cecilia: Ginger used to be married to Jack Culpepper, who I think took out Ruth Chatterton before she married George Brent.
